98 | Pinnacle Construction T T Karen Phelps Close relationships deliver results T T to page 100 BUILDING Kapiti Coast company Pinnacle Construction has carved out a niche for itself by offering innovative solutions that maximise clients’ budgets to deliver outstanding homes that defy client expectations. Led by builder Ian Bethwaite, the company has become synonymous with architectural excellence and meticulous attention to detail. With over 25 years of experience in the industry, Ian brings a wealth of knowledge to every project. In addition to architectural homes and renovations, the company also builds homes at all price points for a range of clients. Ian’s journey in construction began with an apprenticeship in Taupo in the late 1990s, primarily working on architectural homes. This early exposure sparked his passion for highend residential construction. After honing his skills overseas in London and Canada, Ian returned to New Zealand and founded Pinnacle Construction in 2009. What defines Pinnacle Construction is not just craftsmanship but also its approach to client relationship. “Honesty and integrity sets us apart along with high standards,” says Ian. “This commitment to transparency is evident in our open-book policy with architects and clients, fostering trust and facilitating superior outcomes.” One of the key ways Pinnacle Construction helps clients maximise their budgets is through early involvement in the design process. “Architects get me involved at the beginning to ensure the project can be built efficiently and cost-effectively,” Ian explains. “This is because of the close relationships I have built with the architects we work with regularly, they trust my input and we can work well together for the benefit of the client.” This collaborative approach has led to significant cost savings for clients without sacrificing quality. Ian cites a recent project with First Light Studio as an example: “We managed to reduce the cost by $200,000 by changing products and coming up with innovative construction method solutions.” Pinnacle Construction’s ability to deliver exceptional results within budget constraints is not just about smart design choices. It is also about the team’s expertise and dedication. The company boasts a core team of four builders and two apprentices, supplemented by a full-time contracting crew. “I have an amazing team that is an important part of the business,” Ian says. “Most are long-term employees, and they are the reason we can deliver such great homes.” We specialise in bespoke fiberglass pools, tailored to your lifestyle and home as the exclusive Mayfair Pools agent in Wellington, Hutt Valley and Kapiti.
